SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION

 WARNING

CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1) Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie talkie", security, fire and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices).

NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used.

2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and

3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered wheelchair.

Zoom™300 and Zoom™400 18 Part No. 1118395

SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION

 WARNING

Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's control system while using these devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters.

FOLLOWING THE WARNINGS LISTED BELOW SHOULD REDUCE THE CHANCE OF UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OR POWERED WHEELCHAIR MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned ON;

2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;

3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe;

4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (NOTE: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair); and

5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

Important Information

1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection);

2) This device has been tested to a radiated immunity level of 20 V/m.

Modification of any kind to the electronics of this wheelchair as manufactured by Invacare may adversely affect the RFI immunity levels.

Part No. 1118395 19 Zoom™300 and Zoom™400

SAFETY/HANDLING OF POWERED SCOOTERS

SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF POWERED SCOOTERS

“Safety and Handling” of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user. This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering the powered scooter.

Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed have been used successfully by many. Individual users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter; however, ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new powered scooter user with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.

STABILITY AND BALANCE

 WARNING

DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in injury to user and/ or damage to the product.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap.

To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you MUST, at all times, maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities.

PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

 WARNING

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

Many activities require the powered scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer IN and OUT of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the normal balance, the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.

SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER

OPERATING THE SCOOTER

 WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.

Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of the powered scooter. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause a fall from the powered scooter resulting in bodily injury.

For individuals with balance problems, practice transferring activities WITH AN ASSISTANT in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional. DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the powered scooter without assistance.

1. Before operation of the powered scooter, review Control Panel on page 27.

2. Install and charge batteries. Refer to Removing/Installing the Batteries on Zoom 300 on page 50, Removing/Installing the Batteries on Zoom 400 on page 53 and Charging the Batteries on page 58.

3. Transferring to and from the seat can be accomplished in one (1) of two (2) ways:

A. Flipping UP the armrest makes entering/exiting easier.

B. Rotate seat to the direction of transfer. Refer to 90° Seat Swivel Adjustment

page 37.

4. Once the seat is locked in the forward-facing position and both armrests are in the DOWN position, adjust the tiller to a comfortable angle. Refer to Adjusting the Tiller Angle on page 43.

5. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting.

NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed is recommended. For soft terrain or steep inclines (no greater than 8°), a faster speed may be necessary.

6. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.

 WARNING

ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure smooth safe starts.

Zoom™300 and Zoom™400 30 Part No. 1118395

SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER

NOTE: Throttle control levers operate such that moving one (1) will also move the opposite side throttle control lever.

7. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:

A. TO MOVE FORWARD - Push the RIGHT side throttle control lever FORWARD

(away from user) or pull the LEFT side throttle control lever REARWARD (towards user).

B. TO MOVE IN REVERSE - Push the LEFT side throttle control lever FORWARD

(away from user) or pull the RIGHT side throttle control lever REARWARD (towards user).

C. TO STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will quickly

slow down and the brake will engage.

NOTE: To equip the scooter for LEFT hand operation, contact a qualified technician.

The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter travels. With a proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.

When first learning to drive, adjust speed control knob for a SLOW speed and try to drive the powered scooter AS SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control lever only slightly. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.

BRAKE RELEASE LEVER

 WARNING

Ensure that the brake-release lever is in the ENGAGED position before driving. There should be an audible "click" when stopping and starting.

NOTE: For the following information, refer to FIGURE 6.3.

The brake release lever manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake release lever is located under the shroud near the LEFT caster assembly.

The brake MUST be ENGAGED (lever pushed IN) in normal driving conditions. Activation of the throttle control lever automatically releases the brake so that the powered scooter can drive. Releasing the throttle control lever automatically engages the brake so as to prevent the powered scooter from rolling on its own.

When the brake release lever is DISENGAGED (lever pulled OUT) and the key is removed, the powered scooter can be pushed. The powered scooter CANNOT be driven with the brake in the DISENGAGED (lever pulled OUT) position.
